According to Piaget's theory, what are the differences between the cognitive abilities of a preoperational thinker and the cognitive abilities of a concrete operational thinker?

What will be an ideal response?

The preoperational thinker is not able to solve conservation problems because their cognitive schemes are not yet reversible and they center their thoughts on one dimension of a problem. The concrete operational thinker is able to solve conservation problems because they can decenter, focus on dynamic transformations, show reversibility of mental operations, understand class inclusion, seriation, and transitive inference.
